>>369603491. Okay foundation boosted by strong art direction.
2. Incredible expansion, terrible game design (level scaling, monster variety, pitiful difficulty)
3. Three steps forward, two steps back; most varied mon design
4. Started off weak, Platinum and HGSS more than make up for it.
5. Closest this franchise will ever come to the idea of a true sequel; Weather Wars were fun.
6. Great monster variety, but everything else is insufferable; Competitive Renaissance.
7. I love almost all the newcomers this generation, but I hate this trite, rushed-out-the-door-for-anniversary region so goddamn much.
8. Better absolutely blow me away in the pre-release or I'm never touching another mainline Pokemon game again.
